Meaning and background
The story behind Tommie
Tommie is a documented English diminutive of Thomas and is sometimes used as a feminine form. Its final -ie sets it apart visually from Tommy, although both are pronounced much alike in British English. The familiar nickname structure is securely attested; claims that Tommie means a particular personality trait are not part of its history.
- Origin
- English diminutive of Thomas, also sometimes used as a feminine form. Source
